Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Arbalester on their July 1, 1989 issue as being the seventh most-successful table arcade unit of the year.[1]

gollark: I had accidentally planned for this by having a small self-sufficient base in the End with teleporters and stuff, and a spatial IO system so that in an emergency I could just hit a button to save most of my stored resources.
gollark: There were backups, of course, but it was quite funny.
gollark: One time someone on a server I was on accidentally blew up all of spawn with one due to a technical error in the computers controlling the reactor.
gollark: Also, the explosion is just silly.
gollark: The reactor is kind of cool but also does the DE thing of "haha big number good".
